“Kody and I have separated,” Janelleconfirmedin the January 2023 episode.
Despite the dissolution of their marriage, Janelle is far from upset with her decision to leave Kody.
“I’m happy reallyhappy,” Janelle shared in the tell-all.
“I’m begging Janelle for a closer relationship,” he shared in a confessional (viaToday).
“It feels like she’s rejecting that and just choosing to have one with Christine.”
“I’ve always wanted my wives to have close relationships,” the Brown patriarch explained.
Janelle expressed how difficult it was to be in the middle.
“I am pulled in both directions equally strong,” she revealed.
He spent the majority of his time exclusively with them during the peak of COVID-19.
An insider alleged toThe Sun, “COVID created a lot of [the separation].
It gave the sister wives comfort to know that they could be on their own.
Christine was the ringleader in showing that they don’t need Kody.”
“Men don’t feel love from women who don’t respect them,” he admitted.
“I feel like Janelle struggles to respect me or show me respect.
It might be an unfair statement, I don’t know.
Maybe it’s just the way that we argue.”
Kody continued, saying, “If you don’t respect me, don’t bother with the love.
It just doesn’t work in my world.”
In the end, Christine was right.
Kody was very vocal about not looking forward to what the RV meant for him and Janelle’s relationship.
“Robyn makes it convenient for me to be there.
She … reinforces my relationship with my children,” he said.
You know, why am I going to sit here and suffer with you, with your choices?"
Kody enforced a strict set of rules as a precautionary measure.
Some of the rules included disinfecting groceries and cleaning incoming mail with alcohol wipes (viaPeople).
“To him it was just a phone call just asking me about COVID,” Gabe said.
“It was a lot worse than just a phone call for me.”
Kody made it very clear that if this rule were broken, he would not be around.
And I think they are too" (via In Touch Weekly).
As of this writing, Kody isestranged from both Gabe and Garrison.
Fans were quick to notice and also very vocal about Kody’s absence.
One commenter wrote, “A picture is worth 1,000 words … no Kody.”
Another said, “Where is Kody??
Oh yeah, of course … Sobbin Robyn’s house.”
Kody also missed his daughter Savannah’s 18th birthday.
The TLC star shared that they spent Savannah’s birthday weekend on the Vegas strip.
Another commented, “I hope Kody didn’t forget her birthday!”
Amid the split, Janelle has been living her best life.
“She has been spending time in Las Vegas with her daughter.
She’s figuring things out and next steps.”
She then explained how her faith makes her feel conflicted about her decision.
However, as he explained to Sukanya Krishnan, the two are “not in sync.”
